About Louise

Louise Creswick is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She works with men on issues such as fatherhood, identity, relationships and a sense of purpose. Her approach also supports people facing trauma, panic, depression and challenges linked to adoption or family of origin.

Louise offers a warm, empathetic space where the client leads the pace of work. She combines client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with grounding and reducing overwhelm.

Her way of working is conversational and goal-focused. Sessions typically look at what is most pressing and then try out simple steps to make things feel more manageable. Homework or between-session practices are offered when helpful.

Louise has five years of experience in therapeutic and mental health roles. She also practises as an accredited coach, which she blends into sessions when clients want clearer action plans or career support.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How Louise uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy in Louise's work focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people can make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, brings practical steps to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and acting. It can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple exercises to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress and trauma responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Louise will discuss what is most helpful, tailor techniques to individual goals, and shift methods if something is not working. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person wants to achieve.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which online or in-person options are used. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try mindfulness or behavioural tasks between meetings and then talk through how they went. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to suit different needs, and Louise can discuss practical arrangements when you begin.
